Asymmetric Threat Response and Analysis Program IV

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared by the General Services Administration, Federal Acquisition Service on behalf of Intelligence Battle Laboratory (IBL), Fort Huachuca, AZ under solicitation no. 9Q0SDAIS003 in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 and FAR Subpart 13.5. The Asymmetric Threat Response and Analysis Program (ATRAP) is a pioneering computerized military decision aid that will deliver a "cognitive amplifier" for analysts to accelerate intelligence production. ATRAP IV will build on previous versions of ATRAP with robust maturation of its suite of software tools and the unique predictive model that develops, refines, identifies, and visualizes potential enemy courses of action (ECOA) within a Contemporary Operating Environment. ATRAP IV will include innovative and advanced search, graphic, modeling, and analytic applications to assist in determining, refining, and displaying ECOA along with their corresponding indicators. Moreover, ATRAP IV will be optimized for near real-time data processing and data access in a networked environment, yet still deliver its functionality while running in a disconnected mode. Using the ATRAP tool suite, commanders and staffs will be able to explore and predict potential ECOA within the operational environment and, in turn, use ATRAP output to develop, refine, and confirm friendly courses of action.
